Description

How can I add a background color or image to the Kendo UI Diagram?

Solution

Use CSS and apply a background to the diagram div element.

  <style>
    #diagram {
    /* background: center no-repeat url('../content/shared/styles/world-map.png'); */ /* Apply background image */
    /* background: yellow; */ /* Apply background color */
       background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(2,0,36,1) 0%, rgba(139,148,45,1) 35%, rgba(0,212,255,1) 100%); /* Apply background gradient */
    }
  </style>
